Reminder: Register for Your Wellness Screening and Save on Insurance Premiums
Remember to register for your annual wellness screenings: save serious dollars on insurance premiums and protect your health, too!
All team members, as well as any spouse enrolled in LSS medical benefits, can register for the annual biometric health wellness screening through Quest Diagnostics’ LSS wellness portal. Check your inbox for an official welcome email from Quest with helpful details.
All screenings must be requested through the Quest portal by logging in at My.QuestForHealth.com. To ensure you receive discounted medical premiums beginning January 1, 2025, any LSS employee and spouses enrolled in medical benefits as of July 1, 2024 or earlier should participate now.
We are happy to announce a few improvements to the program, which should make the process easier.
Measurable Metrics: The five metrics that will be measured this year will be: HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, A1C hemoglobin (related to glucose levels), Triglycerides, and Blood pressure.
Fasting: The fasting requirement for the screening has been reduced from 12 to only eight hours. Remember, this is a requirement no matter what screening option you choose!
Meet/Pass Requirements: Participants only need to meet/pass 3 or more metrics to earn the wellness credit with no additional steps to take. If a participant fails to meet three or more of the five metrics, they can still earn the wellness credit by taking advantage of virtual, one-on-one health consultations with health professionals through Quest’s Virtual Care Professional, or you can meet with your own physician by using the Physician Engagement Form.
The three standard screening options include:
Quest lab (aka “patient service center”)
At-Home Screening Kit
Your personal physician
By participating in this process, you will earn your wellness credits, thereby reducing your insurance premium!
